Crime, Grief, Complex Relationships, Vengeance
What absolutely stellar performances from Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell. Their Oscars were well-deserved. This film is depressing but somehow also cheering and surprisingly funny at times. Grief is a complicated emotion and a process that is different for everyone (as I've written about many times on this blog). Mildred takes her grief to another level--the level of vengeance. And she stands for all mothers and women who have had enough.
It's frustrating to see the reality that some crimes are never solved. And justice sometimes isn't served. And guilty people walk freely among us. An important and sobering story.
